One week has passed and now the original Naruto was slowly opening his eyes. Upon opening, he shouted, "Hey clone, you there?" Upon getting no response he closed his eyes and realized he didn't have any memory of this week, implying that the first shadow clone survived. Naruto brought his hands closer and made the cross sign for making a clone. Once the clone was made it instantly dispelled telling the clone to either dispel or if doing something come home as soon as possible. Naruto didn't move since he knew that he wasn't adapted to his new body so it can cause problems. After 10 minutes the Naruto's clone was dispelled and he got the clone's memory. Once he went through the clone's memories he was glad that Kakashi didn't make him do much of the hard work, since it could have made the clone dispel. After that was done he realized that his clones with his parents' memories had also been dispelled during his week's rest.
After a minute he stood up, stretched, smiled upon seeing his body. He now stood at a height of 5ft 7', compared to his previous height that was 4ft 10', which was good since he was only 13 now. He went to the bathroom, cut his hair short, put restriction and gravity seal on himself but didn't activate them, freshened up and went to grab his clothes but suddenly remembered his clone got him some new clothes and made them ready for him by putting the adequate seals on them. He looked at his new clothes and smiled. The new clothes were identical to any Jounin's uniform but the vest was custom made for him. The front right side was Yellow with a red N on it and the left side was red with a yellow U on it, while the back was Orange with Naruto Uzumaki written on it in a red-yellow orange flaming design. He also had a mask made of nanotech. He placed it at the right side of his forehead and activated it by taping it to times. It spread on his face and was a simple mask with lenses on the eyes and a filter on the mouth(for reference lookup Star Lord's mask). After looking at himself for a minute he deactivated the mask and got ready. Once he was ready he looked himself in the mirror once and got out of his house.
While going to the training field he contacted Kurama, "Hey Kurama, you awake?"
Kurama replied, "Now I'm. What do you want?"
Naruto replied, "Nothing buddy. Just checking up. And I also wanted to tell you that after today's training let's check out the upgrades. What do you say?"
Kurama replied, "Do whatever you want but don't disturb me. Let me sleep."
Naruto chuckled and said, "Okay so wake you up when the testing begins." Kurama just growled but didn't reply to it.
After a moment Kurama spoke, "Hey brat did you notice something different from your environment?"
Hearing this Naruto said, "No I just feel the hatred, disgust, surprise, and lust? Well, that is new. Wait a minute, I'm sensing people's emotions and I'm not even using your powers."
Kurama replied proudly, "Well it's part of my upgrade. You can sense people's emotions subconsciously but it'll be just 99% surety. If you want to be 100% sure you'll have to do it yourself consciously. And as for lust, it's also part of my upgrade. Looking at your previous lifestyle I decided to make you a chick magnet. What it means is that females will feel a natural attraction to you by just looking at you. And don't worry the affection isn't loved but just primal lust well until you put effort into making the girl fall in love with you."
Naruto was dumb folded hearing this and just said, "Oh, okay. Thanks, I guess."
While he was talking to Kurama he didn't notice where he was going and bumped into someone. As he bumped he said, "Oh I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention." Upon looking at who it was he realized that he has just bumped into Kurenai.
Kurenai hearing him apologize just said, "No problem young man. Just pay attention next time."
Naruto just nodded apologized again and said, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki and actually I wanted to talk to you about something if you don't mind Kurenai sensei."
Kurenai nodded so Naruto went with Kurenai. After they reached an opening, he said, "I wanted to talk to you about Hinata."
Kurenai looked at him with confusion and asked, "What about her, Naruto?"
Naruto replied, "I recently realized that she has a crush on me and due to her shyness she didn't tell me, so I wanted to ask if maybe you could help her overcome her shyness using me."
Kurenai looked confused and asked, "What do you mean using you, Naruto?"
Naruto replied, "Like after practice and missions how about helping her by putting her under a Genjutsu of me or you can transform into me and interact with her, or I can send a shadow clone to you which can help. Whichever you like, it'll be up to you."
Kurenai looked at him like she is contemplating something and then said, "Okay I'll do it and I'll need you I'll tell you to come. But why so sudden interest in her?"
Naruto simply replied, "I know what it's like to be undermined by everyone and I want to help anyone I can. And also she's a Konoha kunoichi so a comrade and I'll help every comrade to the best of my abilities."
Kurenai hearing this was dumbstruck. He gained a little respect from the Genjutsu mistress at that moment. After a moment Kurenai said, "Okay Naruto I'll do it. And remember we are doing it together so any suggestions you want to give me, partner."
Hearing this Naruto replied, "How about first we start with normal interactions, then accidental bumping or something like that and after that sparing. What do say?"
Kurenai nodded. After a few minutes of small talk, Naruto left Kurenai, who had a small smile on her lips due to Naruto's spirit for helping his comrades.
Once Naruto reached his team's training ground he saw both his teammates waiting there for their sensei.
When Sasuke and Sakura looked at Naruto they were surprised by his change in attire. Sakura also had a slight blush creeping up her face.
As soon as Naruto reached them he said, "Hey guys, I wanted to talk to you guys about something while we wait for Kakashi."
Both raised their eyebrows at him and nodded. Naruto made a shadow clone and sent him with Sakura to a distance to talk. After they left Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "Okay now that we are alone, I wanted to talk to you about something but I want you to promise me that you wouldn't overreact or get angry."
Sasuke raised his eyebrow in question but Naruto just shrugged. So Sasuke just nodded. Naruto began, "Sasuke it's about your brother."
Hearing this he visibly got angry and before he could say anything Naruto spoke, "Just listen first and then react."
Sasuke reluctantly calmed himself down so Naruto began again, "Recently I've been thinking about it, and don't you think that it's strange how a prodigy can go on a rampage and kill all of his clan? And if he wanted to kill everyone, why leave you alive? Why not kill you too as you were the only witness to him committing the crime."
Sasuke thought about it for a minute and then said, "I don't know why he did what he did but all I can say is that that night he told me that I wasn't worth killing since I was weak and he killed everyone to test his strength."
Naruto replied, "Okay so he killed everyone including babies and other kids but left you because you were weak? And he killed the clan to test his powers, the same clan which holds him as the strongest Uchiha at the current time and just before he was going to be named the Clan Head?"
As Naruto kept speaking Sasuke was looking more and more surprised due to him stating facts. As Naruto finished speaking Sasuke visibly was confused, shocked, and angry. After some silent minutes passed Sasuke spoke in a silent voice, "Then why did he do it?"
Naruto replied, "I don't know Sasuke. But until you can find the answers how about you do the other thing which you told us about your ambitions for the future? I mean Sakura is pretty nice not to forget you have already kissed her."
Hearing him speak Sasuke began to develop a slight blush and by his last comment, he was already red as a tomato due to embarrassment. When he got his blush under control he replied in a low voice, "I'll think about it."
To which Naruto grinned, gave a thumbs-up, and said, "I call dibs on godfather."
Hearing this Sasuke developed an ever greater blush and shouted at him, "Shut up, Dobe."
Naruto chuckled lightly and sat down next to him.
Meanwhile with Sakura and the clone, once they reached out of earshot Sakura asked, "So what do you wanted to talk to me about?"
Clone simply smiled and said, "Are you sure that you completely love Sasuke?"
Sakura nodded furiously and said, "I'm 100% sure. Why do you ask?"
The clone replied, "To help you of course."
Sakura had stars in her eyes upon hearing this so she instantly asked, "What do I need to do?"
The clone replied, "First of all stop dieting." Seeing her about to speak he continued, "Before you shout at me listen. You are a ninja now and you need strength for it, if you keep dieting you can't be a proper ninja." hearing this Sakura nodded so he continued, "You know since he's gonna be a world-famous ninja so other people will try to subdue him one way or another, like maybe kidnaping his girlfriend or wife, so you need to get strong and take ninja training seriously. And also tone down the fangirlism a little bit since no one likes fangirls. By doing so you can also get ahead of Ino too." Sakura was blushing upon hearing the girlfriend or wife part but became serious by last.
Sakura nodded and asked, "Okay I'll start to take the ninja training seriously but why are you helping me?"
Clone just shrugged and said, "You both look good together." hearing this Sakura blushed hard. The clone said, "Since you have good chakra control why not give Genjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu a shot." hearing this Sakura nodded, and then the clone dispelled himself and Sakura went back to the others.
